Candy lollipops
Paper lollipops can be a fun afternoon project for a single child or a group of children. The lollipops are easy to make and the kids can display their lollipop artwork when they are finished in small colorful vases of Styrofoam cups. You can also have the kids make a batch of heart-shaped paper lollipops for Valentine's Day and add a candy treat in the center of each to hand out to their special friends.

Decorate the joined circles. Make pinwheel stripes with markers, paint or glitter glue and allow the circles to dry.
Step 4
